Stars lose to Lees Summit North in District Championship soccer game

The Stars lost 1-0 in the District Championship soccer game against the Lees Summit North Broncos May 18.

Sophomore and forward Brook Burris of Lee’s Summit North scored the Broncos only goal near the end of the first half.

According to junior Megan Lankford, midfielder for the STA varsity soccer team, the Stars came out strong in the first half.

“We made eight to nine shots in the first half” we dominated, Lankford said. “We just couldn’t put one behind their goalie.  They only had two shots and one happened to go in.”

The Stars had already faced the Broncos once this season and beat them 3-2.

“This time we just couldn’tt finish our opportunities to score,” Lankford said. “They man-marked [senior captain] Caroline [Gray] and they made adjustments to shut some of our players down.”

Despite coming out of half time down by one, Lankford said that the Stars were determined to stay in the game.

“We wanted to come out strong and get a goal quickly but we just couldn’t make it happen,” Lankford said. “We didn’t give up though.  We kept trying all throughout the second half.”

This game marks the end of STA soccer for five seniors: Caroline Gray, Karson Kuhlman, Molly Kenney, Cele Fryer and Sophia Garozzo.

“The seniors played really strong tonight,” Lankford said. “They have been a great asset to our team and they will be missed in the coming years.”
